I think its just a really tough pill to swallow. I remember it being pretty devastating for me to switch over to such a mindset. Moving from viewing oneself as good person who always does whats right to a nuanced character who is extremely flawed and is implicated in a lot of negative things because life isn't a story and sometimes is involved in villainous things due to the nature of life.

To portray oneself in your own mind in a negative way rather than giving yourself an excuse is really uncomfortable. Like doing something really messed up to someone and then realizing it and admitting you hurt them is really difficult emotionally. I think its like that but on a existential level.
